In case you’ve missed it, the speculation around Dimitri Payet’s future has kicked up some significant notches in recent days.

The former Marseille man has become a West Ham hero since his move in 2015 and was easily their best player of the season last year but has thrown all of that into jeopardy after refusing to rule out a move away from the club as early as January.
